If you can throw it across the room, it's hardware. The instruction set(s) is software. Example: Your child is hardware (don't throw him or her across the room). If you tell your kid to go to bed, that instruction is software.
The microprocessor is a piece of hardware, not software. Windows 7 doesn't supply a microprocessor.
Software is a digital replacement for a hardware solution. At the core, the microprocessor uses program instructions (software) to emulate results of hardware electronic circuitry. The short answer, it's why you can have a computer UNDER your desk or IN your pocket.
hey, As the hardware is only the component but the microcontroller or microprocessor built with in works as an heart of the circuit. it contains the program written in high level languages which are compiled or assembelled to work as an machine language.
a microprocessor is hardware, it provides the physical mechanism (electronic circuitry) needed to run any software on a computeran operating system is software, it provides the logical mechanism (algorithms) to coordinate the running of all the software on a computerapplications (or apps) are software, they are coordinated by the operating system and run by the microprocessor to perform tasks useful to a human user of the computer
A VDU is hardware.
A scanner is both hardware and software, the device itself is hardware (all devices are hardware) but the driver(a program) that runs it is software.
hardware
The combination of a microprocessor chip and the installed operating system determines the overall performance, capabilities, and compatibility of a computer system. The microprocessor dictates processing speed and architecture, while the operating system manages hardware resources, provides user interfaces, and supports software applications. Together, they influence tasks such as multitasking efficiency, security features, and the ability to run specific software or hardware peripherals. Ultimately, this combination shapes the user experience and functionality of the device.
A microphone is hardware. Software is what programs and games are called.
Motherboards are hardware components, not software.
both a hardware and software
Have to be hardware. How could you write software if there were no hardware to write it on?
